2009 Chinese Culture Weekend
Friday, July 17th to Sunday, July 19th

Would you and your family like to learn more about Chinese culture?

If so, the Chinese Culture Weekend is the place for you. Families will get a chance to relax, make friends, participate in camp-type activities and learn more about China and its culture in our lovely valley nestled beneath the Hogback Mountains.

While most families who come to Chinese Culture Weekend have adopted children from China, everyone is welcome.
